Real Madrid lock horns with Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Hilal in the Club World Cup final at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Morocco on Saturday.
Los Blancos booked their place in the showpiece event after securing a 4-1 semi-final victory over Al Ahly on Wednesday night courtesy of strikes from Vinicius Junior, Federico Valverde, Rodrygo and Sergio Arribas.
Carlo Ancelotti's men will now endeavour to lift the Club World Cup for a record-extending fifth time when they face Al-Hilal, who beat Flamengo 3-2 in their semi-final tie on Tuesday.
